Gio Urshela and Miguel Andujar are combining to keep Aaron Boone from having to make a difficult decision.
Urshela continued to strengthen his grip on the Yankees’ starting third base job with a late two-run, two-out single in Thursday’s 3-1 win over the Mariners, while Andujar went 0-for-3, and extended his hitless streak to 16 at-bats.
Urshela, who suffered a left-knee contusion Wednesday night, but entered as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning, is hitting .364 with eight RBIs with runners in scoring position this season, and is batting .404 over his past 15 games.
